Deep Above is a new film, engaging with the global situation of climate change and extreme weather conditions, weaving its complexity into the immediate and local. Chodzko uses sounds and images from the environment and communities immediately around and within the University of Kent (where Chodzko is a senior lecturer) including snatches of chorus from the University choir, the wolves at Wildwood, the sea at Seasalter, teenagers in Thornden Woods, the M2 near Faversham, and a family kitchen in Whitstable.
Most people agree that climate change is taking place – we experience extreme weather conditions and observe the data, imagery and analysis as evidence. Deep Above uses a distilled, intense combination of moving image and sound to explore, short-circuit and abstract our slippery self-deceptions regarding climate change.
